Intergard 475HS

Epoxy
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A low VOC, high solids, high build, two component epoxy coating. Available with conventional pigmentation, or alternatively can be pigmented with micaceous iron oxide to provide enhanced overcoating properties. For use as a high build epoxy coating to improve barrier protection for a range of anti-corrosive coating systems in a wide range of environments including offshore structures, petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills and bridges. Suitable for use in both maintenance and new construction situations as part of an anti-corrosive coating system. The micaceous iron oxide variant improves long term overcoating properties, better facilitating application in the fabrication shop, prior to shipping, with final overcoating on site.

SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. Primed Surfaces Intergard 475HS should always be applied over a recommended anti-corrosive coating scheme. The primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination and Intergard 475HS must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified (consult the relevant product data sheet). Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6, Abrasive Blasting, or SSPC-SP11, Power Tool Cleaning) and patch primed prior to the application of Intergard 475HS. Zinc Primed Surfaces Ensure that the surface of the primer is clean, dry and free from contamination and zinc salts before application of Intergard 475HS. Ensure zinc primers are fully cured before overcoating.

APPLICATION

Mixing

Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied. Once the unit has been mixed it must be used within the working pot life specified. (1) Agitate Base (Part A) with a power agitator. (2) Combine entire contents of Curing Agent (Part B) with Base (Part A) and mix thoroughly with power agitator. 3 part(s) : 1 part(s) by volume -5C (23F) 60 minutes Recommended 5C (41F) 60 minutes 15C (59F) 60 minutes 25C (77F) 60 minutes

Mix Ratio Working Pot Life

Airless Spray

Tip Range 0.53-0.63 mm (21-25 thou) Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 190 kg/cm (2702 p.s.i.) Gun Air Cap Fluid Tip DeVilbiss MBC or JGA 704 or 765 E

Air Spray (Pressure Pot)

Recommended

Brush Roller Thinner

Suitable Suitable International GTA007

Typically 75 microns (3.0 mils) can be achieved Typically 75 microns (3.0 mils) can be achieved Do not thin more than allowed by local environmental legislation

Cleaner Work Stoppages

International GTA822 (or International GTA415) Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA822. Once units of paint have been mixed they should not be resealed and it is advised that after prolonged stoppages work recommences with freshly mixed units. Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA822. It is good working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend upon amount sprayed, temperature and elapsed time, including any delays. All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

Intergard 475HS is primarily designed for use as a high build barrier coat to impart barrier protection to a coating system. It is recommended that it should be overcoated with a durable finish from the Interfine or Interthane range when appearance is important. Maximum film build in one coat is best attained by airless spray. When applying by methods other than airless spray, the required film build is unlikely to be achieved. Application by air spray may require a multiple cross spray pattern to attain maximum film build. Low or high temperatures may require specific application techniques to achieve maximum film build. When applying Intergard 475HS by brush or roller, it may be necessary to apply multiple coats to achieve the total specified system dry film thickness. Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3C above dew point. When applying Intergard 475HS in confined spaces ensure adequate ventilation. Exposure to unacceptably low temperatures and/or high humidities during or immediately after application may result in incomplete cure and surface contamination that could jeopardise subsequent intercoat adhesion. For further details regarding cure times and overcoatability, please contact International Protective Coatings. Interchanging standard and elevated temperature curing agents during application to a specific structure will give rise to an observable colour change due to the difference in the yellowing/discolouration process common to all epoxies on exposure to UV light. In common with all epoxies Intergard 475HS will chalk and discolour on exterior exposure. However, these phenomena are not detrimental to anti-corrosive performance. Intergard 475HS is not designed for continuous water immersion. The micaceous iron oxide variant of this product is frequently used as a 'travel coat' prior to final overcoating on site. To ensure best extended overcoating properties ensure over-application does not occur and that the surface is fully cleaned of any contamination which may be present in the surface texture due to the coarse nature of the micaceous iron oxide pigmentation. When applying Intergard 475HS at temperatures less than 15C (59F) or wet film thicknesses of 150 microns (6 mils) or less, addition of around 5% International GTA007 thinners will improve film appearance, sprayability and aid film thickness control.

Note: VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject to variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing tolerances. Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24.
